More about this camp

The Kings Central London Summer Centre at the University of London is a new 2026 centre in Bloomsbury, next to Russell Square and near King's Cross. It accepts students aged 12 to 17. Programme and activities. Students take 15 hours of English lessons per week alongside activities and London excursions. Bloomsbury is central London's university and museum quarter, so the cultural material — the British Museum, university buildings, Russell Square — is on the doorstep. Accommodation. Students stay in International Hall, a modern University of London residence on Brunswick Square, in single en-suite rooms. Single en-suite rooms in central London are a comfortable standard — a step above the shared university residence at Kings' South Bank centre. Families should confirm what supervision applies outside teaching hours, though Kings provides its own residential staff. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 12 to 17 — taking younger students than the South Bank centre, which starts at 13. Eight arrival dates are listed from early July. Location and travel. Bloomsbury is in central London, close to Russell Square and King's Cross, with excellent underground and rail links including to the airports and to Europe via St Pancras. Transfer arrangements are not published. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit teenagers who want a central-London base in the historic Bloomsbury quarter with their own en-suite room, and families who value the King's Cross rail links for arrival. It differs from Kings' South Bank Central London centre in accommodation standard, age band (from 12 rather than 13) and exact location, so families choosing between the two Central London options should compare on those points.
